Interview:
What progress have you made on the battle system?
Several big developments as well as the presentation, beginning graphics, and basic animations. There are a lot more details to work out. So far, a quarter of the conceptual work is done and an eighth of the visual work. It is planned to be released before the end of the year.
What features and jobs can we expect from the classes system?
Originally it was planned for Gaia to have the traditional RPG job classes like warrior and mage, but it was felt it would be better to have more customizeability and variety in jobs. Instead, it might be made to where your equipment defines your stats and your role, to allow users to make their own jobs, instead of being trapped inside of a job. It may be made to where you can switch jobs whenever you want and train up abilities as you use them. So if you were a warrior, you'd use those skills and level up, but if you needed to be a mage you would be able to switch your equipment and use those skills to level up that job.
When should we expect the pets system in relation to the battle and quest systems?
Right now the battle system is actually in development, but the pets system is only in the planning stages.
What video games are inspirations for the battle system? (FFT, etc.)
Ragnarok Online, Maple Story, and especially Paper Mario. A battle system full of chore-like processes is being avoided.
Will the battle system allow for parties of players to group together in a team for battles?
Yes, party play will be encouraged.

My concern is the playing field, since it's hard enough to move around with a mouse.

I watched the Battle System video again.
Lol.
I'm seriously going to pee myself when it finally comes out.
I say they release it during Christmas time.
A gift for ALL of Gaia!

I think that you would you a mouse to control your character, but when you encounter a monster, you would be in a battle stage. From there:
When you win, it will show what you get (potions,money,ect.)
When you lose, you will be returned to your previous destination.

Arcane_Geminus My concern is the playing field, since it's hard enough to move around with a mouse. Maybe it will have the Final Fantasy style of fighting?
